Minister Ritz Ag Chief

[TOM4CWB]

Dear Charlie,

It is interesting that Minister Ritz has PM Harpers ear... and was able to get past the hot shots who wanted him gone so badly!

We all live and learn... I am sure Jerry is much smarter after this round... glad he gets another shot at it!

The CWB must get it... Marketing Choice is not going away!

[TOM4CWB]

By the way...

Congratulations Minister Ritz!

Hope this term brings prosperity and wisdom to the Ag sector... change is the only constant in Agriculture...

Nice to know we have you as our crackerjack Minister!

All the best!

P.S.

The following day, the Governor General will deliver the speech from the throne, laying out the government’s priorities for a parliamentary session that will be dominated by debate about the global financial crisis and its impact on the Canadian economy.

[Fransisco]

Okay Gerry, you've got a second shot at this thing, it's time to get the job done. Enough talking about the wheat board lets see some doing!

[LWeber]

Burbot is gonna blow a gill.

[cottonpicken]

Tommy boy,what would god say about you making jokes at dead peoples expense?

[jensend]

maybe this just shows harper has ag in such low esteem he'll put the same slug back in as minister.

[wilagro]

And for those who thought that Stockwell Day was a turkey in the Public Safety portfolio, now we have The Honourable Peter Van Loan as Minister of Public Safety. Should be interesting.

[TOM4CWB]

Cottonpicken;

Remember this?

Oct 16;

"curb stomp for all you oldsters is when you drag an unconsious man that you have resently beat over to a curb and make him bite the curb.

You then kick him in the back of the head"

Now... I wonder what the purpose of this was?

My opinion?

God would say... apology accepted... you are forgiven.

Works for me!

[agstar77]

Did Gerry buy smart pills? That's the only way he will get smarter. That says a lot for the rest of the MP crop, if that was the best Harper could do.

[Burbert]

This is exactly why the Harpster will never form a majority government here in Canada. Sticking by this mean spirited goof ball, during trying times. Harpie is simply thumbing his nose at Canadians. But since ag has fallen off the domestic agenda, who cares? I have total faith in Ritz, he is a -ool that can't keep his yap closed. The best is yet to come from this clown!

[furrowtickler]

Still better for us out west than some gone broke hog farmer from Ontario or some retired fisherman from the east coast or some relative of chicken farmer tree hugger in B.C.
Gerry, please just quit the smart a$$ jokes and get er done!
Burbot is probably belly up today floating in lost waters. I like your remark Larry.
